THE 3IORXIXG OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY. 3IAT 25, 1906.
T,
NOT BE HANGED
Na Evidence to Sustain First
Degree Verdict, Court
Tells Jury.
DEFENSE GAINS. A POINT
District Attorney Manning Objects
to Ruling, but In Vain Strong
Testimony for the State.
Argument On Today.
Gust Wirtanen, who is on trial for
the murder of Matt Watllo. cannot be
convicted of murder In the first de
gree. Judge Frazer so Instructed the
jury yesterday when the prosecution
had finished its case, on motion of Dan
J. Malarkey, attorney for the defense.
Mr. Malarkey argued in support of his
motion that there was no evidence
showing deliberation or premeditation
or lying In wait, which is necessary to
constitute murder in the first degree.
District Attorney Manning in a vig
orous speech strongly" opposed the mo
tion, and contended that Wirtanen had
made admissions at the polioe sta
tion and to the driver of the patrol
wagon sufficient to show deliberate in
tent. Mr. Manning said the question
ought to be left to the jury.
Bears Down on Mr. Manning.
Judge Frazer said Mr. ' Manning
would be the first one to ask to have
a first degree verdict set aside. The
experience of the court was that Mr.
Manning did not believe In excessive
punishment In any case. Judge Frazer
said the court would set aside a first
degree- verdict and grant a new trial,
and consequently the court might as
well now order that the trial pro
ceed only as to the two other verdicts,
second degree and manslaughter, and
so Instruct the jury. This was an
important point gained by the defense.
Strong Evidence for State.
Victor Baxon gave strong evidence
for the state. He testified that Mrs.
Wirtanen asked her husband if he shot
Watllo accidentally. Wirtanen respond
ed saying that he shot him purposely
because Watllo was "one of the gang."
Baxon was a boarder at Wlrtanen's
hotel, and said he heard this conver
sation shortly after the killing.
Mrs. Wirtanen when on the witness
stand denied that this ever occurred,
or that she had told Saxon anything
of the kind.
Henry Hohkanen testified that he
heard Wirtanen say Watllo belonged
to the same company, which District
Attorney Manning interpreted to mean
the same gang.
Anton Ramstrat. who washed the
blood and sand from Wlrtanen's face,
testified that Wirtanen asked him if
Watllo would die, and on being told
that he would, remarked: "That's too
bad."
Tilt Between the Lawyers.
District Attorney Manning and Mr.
Malarkey had a little tilt. Mr. Man
ning asserted that Mr. Malarkey had
conversed with the state's witnesses,
and Mr. Malarkey retorted that the
District Attorney had been interview
ing the defendant's witnesses.
Wirtanen, the defendant, took the
witness stand in his own behalf about
8 o'clock and give his version of the
affair, beginning with the drinking
bout.
He said' Houtala beat blm unmerci
fully without provocation in a drunken
rage, and he went and got his revolv
er, ind fired a shot to frighten hln
away. - He did not remember all that
occurred, as his mind was hary from
the effects of the drinking and terrible
beating he had received. He remem
bered that he shot thinking to frighten
someone away who was entering the
house, to keep from being killed him
self. On cross - examination by Mr.- Man
ning lie admitted that he drank con
siderable at times. He stated that be
fore he bought the hotel he was a mu
sician and earned a good living play
ing an accordion in saloons and other
places. He formerly lived in Seattle.
Mrs. Wlrtanan, the wife of the ae
cusod, testified. in his defense. She said
she was awakened by hearing the
noise of the quarrel and went out and
found her husband badly beaten about
the head. .
Defendant's Wife on Stand.
Houtala ran away. She and Watllo
accompanied her husband to the house
and her husband obtained his re
volver and rushed out and shot before
she could stop him.
Watilo was near the front door. She
was confident her husband did not
know what he was doing, and did not
intend to shoot Watilo.
Charles Head, who saw Wirtanen at
the Good Samaritan Hospital imme
diately after the shooting, testified
that Wirtanan appeared dased, and act
ed like a man who was mentally do
ran feed.
The arguments to the jury will be
made this morning.
NEW HILIi OP EXCEPTIONS
Defendants In Williamson Land
Fraud Case File Revision.
J. N. Williamson. Van Gesner and Ma
rlon R. BIprs filed yesterday, through
Judge Bennett, their attorney; a revised
bill of exceptions with the clerk of the
Federal Court. The bill is a voluminous
document of 1060 typewritten pages, and
reproduces in a large measure the testi
mony of the . trial in which they were
convicted of conspiracy . to defraud the
Government.
A copy of the bill has been sent to Judge
Hunt, of Montana, who Is expected to
come to Portland about June 10. Judge
Hunt refused to receive a former bill of
exceptions presented by the defendants.
It is necessary for such a bill to be ac
cepted before the case can go to the high
er court. , Judge Hunt will probably pass
upon this latest filing soon after his ar
rival in Portland.

porary alimony in the divorce suit of
Goldie R Ellis against Joseph T. Ellis

Mrs. Ellis Is at present living with
her foster mother, Mrs. R. C- Kinney,
who adopted her when she was 3 years
old. Mrs. Kinney has filed an affida
vit stating that the couple lived at her
home for two months after their mar
riage, and Ellis constantly quarreled
with his wife. She further alleges that

MINISTER CHENG COMING
TO BE GIVEN WARM WELCOME
BY PORTLAND CHINESE.
Question of Inviting Homeless Coun
trymen in San Francisco to
This City May Come Up.
Sir Cheng, the Chinese Minister to the
United States, who is at present in San
Francisco, has been extended an urgent
Invitation to visit Portland before leaving
for Washington. It Is expected that Sir
Cheng will arrive here In the early part
of next week, together with Twin Wo, a
wealthy Chinese merchant of this city.
who went to San Francisco in an endeavor
to induce the Chinese refugees there to
come to Portland.
The Chinese colony here is preparing to
give Sir Cheng a hearty welcome, and it
Is supposed that the fate of San. Francisco
Chinatown will be discussed.
The Chinese merchants in this city state
that fully E000 of their countrymen can be
given immediate employment if they de
cide to come to Oregon, and in view of
the unsettled conditions In the stricken
city, it is thought a large number of
Chinamen will decide to move.
If the San Francisco Chinese will be
unable to go back to their old Chinatown,
it Is expected they will seriously consider
leaving Uiat city and coming either to
Portland or Seattle. . Although no formal
Invitation has been extended to the San
Francisco countrymen by the local Chi
nese colony a glad welcome and help will
be given to all who may come.
"COCKNEY KID'S" CASE SET
Will Be Tried for Assault at St.
Helen's Monday.
James Remington, alias "Cockney
Kid," the thug who assaulted W. G.
Fischer at Rainier, will be tried at St.
Helen's Monday morning. Witnesses
have been subpenaed and many persons
will be Implicated when the case cornea
to trial. The assault against Tom
Williams at Rainier by Gilbert Lacy
has not caused near the comment that
the Fischer case developed. It is like
ly that the case against Lacy will nev
er come to trial on account of the in
ability to procure witnesses.
Williams, it is said, does not bear
the best of reputations, and there is
no one to substantiate the charges
against Lacy except him.

THE ELDER
H. Peterson Offered $160,-
000 for Raised Steamer.
REFUSES THE BIG TENDER
ls Considering Plans for Operating
Craft as Soon . as Repaired.
Vessel May Be Docked
Tomorrow.
With an offer of $160,000 for the steam
ship George W. Elder in his pocket, J.
H. Peterson, sole owner of the vessel.
is wearing one of those smiles which one
reads about, and Is said to be of the
indestructible variety. That he had re
ceived such an offer for the Elder was
broadly 'hinted yesterday and on being
requested for a confirmation the Portland
plunger, as some of his friends call mm,
confirmed the story, but refused to di
vulge the name of tha man or men who
made the offer.
"I don't want to make the thing pub
lic as yet," said Mr. Peterson, "for I
have not by any means decided, to take
the offer. I may want to run the Elder
myself. Vessels as good as the Elder
will be when she is thorougmy over
hauled and repaired are not any too
plentiful on the coast, and there is plenty
of opportunity to secure trade enougn to
warrant her being profitable in the pas
senger or freight carrying business along
the coast. I have not decided what I
will do with her. and I shall not con
sider any offers for some time. There
will toe time enough to consider the fu
ture of the craft when ehe is on the dry
dock."
Will Be Towed TJp Soon.
Peterson further stated that an effort
would probably be made to bring the
Elder to St. Johns tomorrow, and he will
make arrangements to go to Goble this
afternoon, and confer with Captain
Baker relative to the advisability of tow
ing the vessel to the dry dock.
It will take all of three months to
place the Elder In commission, for the
damage to her hull will make extensive
repairs to that portion of the ship neces-

sary. The old iron plates damaged by
the collision with the rock are to be re
placed with steel platea, which have al
ready been ordered at San Francisco, and
are expected to arrive within two weeks.
The Elder was equipped with the best
machinery of any vessel of her class on
the coast, for shortly before she waa
wrecked an entire new set of machinery
had been installed, and the best feature
of the vessel's condition today is the fact
that the mechanical portions of the craft
are not damaged in the least. Most of
the vessel's machinery bears not the
slightest trace of rust, which Is due to
the fact that she lay in fresh water.
Had she been wrecked in salt .water It
is more than likely that she would have
required an entire new set of machinery.
Machinery Little Injured.
Before the vessel sank at the time of
the collision, the engineers turned sev
eral barrels of oil into the machinery,
which has served to keep these portions
In excellent condition. ' When the vessel
was pumped out previous to hauling her
oft the rocks, two of her own pumps
were pressed into service, which demon
strates that her machinery is unharmed
after 16 months on the rocks.

RHEUMATISM CURED

Dr.Williama' Pink Pffls cure rheuma

elements to the vitiated blood and en
able nature to cast ont the impurities
and effect a cure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No.
119 Fitoh street, Syraouse, N. Y.. will
furnish living evidence of the truth of
this statement. " There has been rheu-)
knatism in my family ever since I can re-
member," she says. " My grandmother
waa a great sufferer from musoular
rheumatism and my mother also had the
disease in a mild form. About a year
ago I had a hard cold and rheumatism
caught me in my left knee. There were
sharp pains, confined to the neighbor-:
hood of the knee and they seemed to go
right into the bone. The pain I suffered!
waa intense and at times I had dizx
spells. I consulted physicians in whom!
my family had every confidence and took
their medicine faithfully but it did rue
no good a all that I could see.
"The doctors called my tronble
Uriatio and scdatio rheumatism. When
I didnt get better under their treat,
xnent my brother-in-law suggested that I
try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I bought
three boxes, and, by the time I had
taken them, the pain and dizziness had
entirely left me. I wanted to make
sure of a cure so I bought three more
boxes, but I dirln 't take quite all of them'
as I found than: waa entirely cured be
fore I had taken all of the sixth box.
" Before I took the pills the pain was
so severe that I had to cry at times and
when I was cured I was so thankful and
grateful that I have advised many people
to try the pills and I am glad to recomi

POLICEMAN HAS RESIGNED
George J. Quinlan Will Leave Force
to Accept East Side Position.
Policeman George J. Quinlan has sent
In his resignation to Chief Grltzmacher
which will take effect June 1. Quinlan has
been on the Portland police force for over
five years and his resignation has met
with general regret in police circles, as
he was an able officer and well liked
by his associates. .
Quinlan Joined the force under Chief
McLauchlan, and soon after was ap
pointed desk sergeant under Chief Hunt.
During the Lewis and Clark Fair Quin
lan was appointed acting day captain
at the police station' and at the last civil
service examination made his application
for the position of captain. Captains
Bruin and Slover were the successful
competitors at the time.
Since the examination Quinlan was de
tailed on second night relief under Cap
tin Bailey which he now leaves. Captain
Bailey and the entire night force greatly
regret losing Quinlan, but are consoled
by the fact that the popular officer leaves
the service to take a position on the Bast
Side. It is understood that he is to be
appointed clerk- at the East Side Justice
Court.
JUST A $16,000 GRAFT
How the Barlow Toll Koad Scheme
Ii Being Worked.
OREGON" CITY, Or.. May 24. (To the
Editor.) I would like to submit some facts
concerning the proposed sale of the Barlow
tollroad to the State of Oregon for $24,000.
I believe It should be voted down because:
It Is not worth the money; the promoters
have an option on the road from the owners
for $8000 and will make $16,000, if they can
sell It to the state; no farmers In Clacka
mas County are obliged to pay a toll to get
their products to market; very few farmers
live near the road-, the seven miles of toll
road between the mountains and the end of
the public road was offered to Clackamas
County as a free gift about three years ago
and refused; no provision is made In the law
for an examination of the title of the alleged
owners, nor requiring the title to be free
from Incumbrances; there Is very little travel
